Lakeshore's Steve Alphonso to focus on athletic director duties

Lakeshore’s Steve Alphonso is stepping down as boys basketball coach to devote his time to being the school’s athletic director.

Assistant coach Terry “TK” Kendall, will succeed Alphonso.

“Seeing this though our first senior class was part of my decision,” said Alphonso, who has been at Lakeshore since its opening in 2009. “The biggest thing is that had a quality assistant coach to turn things over to.

“That make it a lot easier.”

Alphonso added that he is moving into being a full-time administrator as well, which was in line with serving solely as athletic director.

Kendall was the head coach at Pearl River from 2001-05 and was Lakeshore’s girls coach from 2009-11 before serving as Alphonso’s assistant last season.
